I tend to not listen to much music older than a year or two. And this is my exception recently.

It’s so influential, it’s very ahead of its time.

Gets funnier when you ask: "Hey isn't everyone effectively unemployed rn and hey, didn't you guys just fire.... 1 million people?"

No kings no paychecks is literally one of the dumbest political slogans I have ever heard.

I can't believe that the guys who want secret, masked police to arrest their enemies on arbitrary crimes are also Nazis. Would've never thought that tbh.

Grown men thinking they're children is probably how Musk, Trump and Thiel ended up in the Epstein Files?

None of that came with the feeling that a permanent change just happened. Let alone with the idea that now all votes matter less.

That’s a stark difference.

Imagine spending literally every dollar imaginable only to recreate a worse version of Snapchat.

It is at least *interesting* that the people making this supposedly world-changing technology think its most profitable use cases are: social media videos and sexting.

People are building, at great cost to the AI companies, who say the way to their profitability is for everyone to adopt AI, to the point where it kills their job prospects, and at the cost of everyone's power bill being more expensive, because of data centers stocked with chips no one has invented.

It’s still too early to confirm this statement. People are figuring out how to build with GenAI. Some will succeed.

As always, the ability to execute will be the determining factor.

GenAI allows people to build guardrails to augment their lack of execution skills.

Remember how people were concerned that Madison Cawthorn did a weird trip to Germany?

Man 2021 seems like a fever dream now.

Well, now, if you're on the site, you're there for the love of the game because payouts are dead.

I think the net result of this would be possible state secession. I'm deadass. I strongly feel the net result of this would be to kick off waves of migration out of the south.

It's now woke to dislike Hitler, well that's going the way you thought it would.

This policy alone could see massive polarization of the American people accrue. You will see a lot of people move. The experiment of a multiracial, harmonious America is probably going to die now.

JD Vance has to look his family in their faces, where his skin is the lightest of anyone, and make the justification.

When those kids are grown, they'll understand how wicked the contradiction is.

The single greatest mistake in recent American history is sure to be the choice by Biden to not pursue court packing as a counterbalance to this.
